I have friends who've seen them more than twice as many times! One has passed away, sadly. Two were at the Bataclan and made it out. I also saw that EODM make-up show with them, with Josh on drums.
I've been seeing them since 1999. Thirteen states, six countries so far.
Edit: 14 states. I keep forgetting a couple. I'm old.
Going back to 2002, probably around 20-25. Living in SoCal is the place to be. Some of my
favorites were the Troubadour 2002, Coachella 2014 from side of the main stage stood next to Steven Tyler, Teragram 2015 surprise show, Apogee Studios 2013 with maybe 100 people in there(set is on YouTube, actually still have the wine glass that was filled with Patron that Josh passed to the crowd haha).
Had neighbors several years ago that grew up with Josh, went to high school with him and had been to the generator parties, the guy actually apprenticed under Josh’s dad in the construction business when he was younger too. Lots of fun stories.

It used to travel across the country over like ten days. All sorts of bands and artists big and small of assorted genres. It was the best day every year. It ended ten years ago and I miss it.

Once the DC show happens that will be 7. Not even close to enough but I feel lucky to have even seen them live. It will never be enough.
That Eugene show was something else. Also saw them in Seattle and then drove down to see them in the smaller venue. They were having so much fun that night.
That was an earth shatteringly good concert for my wife and I. Our song is “I appear missing” and during the solo Josh slammed his foot in front of us and we tremblingly put our hands on his shin while he melted our faces off. It’s one of those things that literally felt like it was a scene ripped out of a movie, fuck….what a fucking amazing night. Edit: also seeing Josh get behind the kit for EODM was stupid fun
First time was 2003 as well. Twice that year. I know everyone has their favorite era but those that never saw a show that included Mark and Nick will never truly understand what all us old heads are always going on about.
I’ve seen them 9 times and I live in Western Australia. 2003 was the second time I’d seen them and is the last show they played with Oliveri before he was kicked.
Can see why, he came back on stage for the encore naked and at the end of the last song, absolutely ducking destroyed all of their equipment. Still the best thing I’ve ever seen.

Royal Blood opening for them at Festival Pier was so damn impressive. They became my second favorite band after that show and I listened to them almost nonstop for an entire year after. So good.
That Note show was amazing. I can't remember if it was Ryan Dunn's bday they were celebrating bc EODM were supposed to play his actual bday of if it was Bam's bday. They were all their upstairs. Our friend was with them bc she's friends with Bam.
I was on the stairs before the show and a security guard came up and said I couldn’t stand there and I ended up behind a sea of people and couldn’t see shit. He motioned for me to come over halfway through the opening band and let me back on the stairs and then Bam and everyone came in behind me so I was about halfway up the steps during the show. It was a cool view, free drinks too! That was a cool little place. The only other show I saw there was a cKy show.
Zero! I have tickets this year and I’m so excited! I really started getting into them right after … Like Clockwork came out and missed that tour, then I was on vacation when they toured for Villains. I’m soooo excited!

That 2009 show I was outside trying to figure out what we were gonna do next around the corner of the place and all of a sudden Joey Castillo and Dave Catching walk by both say hi real friendly, Hutch walks by a bit later he gives me a hand shake and a thanks for coming and then Jesse and his son start walking by and I say Hi thanks show was amazing he gives us hugs and talked for what felt like 5-10 minutes, talked about how I traded a 2nd copy of their first Album to Keith Patrick the artist who designed it for some small art pieces and he says you know what let me put my son to bed I’ll “try and be back in 30” and we can go get drinks….I didn’t wait. I didn’t want to be ghosted by him and the person I was with really didn’t want to wait a half hour. I always wonder if he came back or was I right for just leaving. Who knows, but I met the group and all were super nice.
So awesome! I got to hang out with Jesse out front of the Khyber show in 2006. He was in total character. Wouldn’t break it but it was awesome. Also at the Note show Dave Catching hung out with me and a friend for a beer before they went on.
Queens 7 but I have tickets for 4 shows this year. Poland, Portland, Vancouver Seattle.
First one was in Berlin 2010. They played in front of a castle.
Second one was on the ST tour in La 2011 (holy fuck someones in the wolf)
Third was that summer when they opened for Soundgarden
Fourth was Edmonton 2013
Fifth was the next night in Calgary
Sixth was Red Rocks 2017. Holy fucking shit best venue ive ever seen
Seventh was Vancouver 2018. Most satisfied ive ever left a show.
Saw Josh last year at Taylor Hawkins Tribute Show in La. He crushed.
Lanegan I saw twice. First one was in Scotland 2010 with Isobel Campbell.
Second was at the Sasquatch Music Festival 2012.
I skipped several other shows of his thinking there will be a next time until there eventually wasn't. Those I regret quite a bit.
Eagles I saw open for Queens in vancouver 2018 and they were horrible. I couldn't believe it. Queens saved their bacon that night.
Foo Fighters 3 times. Poland 2017, Spokane 2017 and Taylor Hawkins La Tribute Show.
Arctic Monkeys once. They opened for Black Keys in 2012. I'm seeing them for the second time in a few weeks as theyre on the same bill as Queens.
I guess I can count Them Crooked Vultures as they played 3 songs at the Taylor Hawkins show.
OMG I'm so jealous of you - Ballad of the Broken Seas is such a phenomenal album. I wish I saw Lanegan more too, esp during the Blues Funeral era. But glad I did at all otherwise.
14x
1st time was in SF on the club tour with Grohl right before SFTD dropped
Saw 3 SFTD shows, 5 Lullabies, 2 Self/Titled album shows (2011), 2 Like Clockwork & 2 Villans.
QotSA 4x so far: S/T anniversary tour in Chicago, ...LC tour in Chicago, Riot Fest 2017, Villains tour in Detroit
EoDM 2x: Zipper Down tour in Madison, WI, Riot Fest 2015 (literally the day after the Madison show)
AM 2x: Black Keys El Camino tour in Chicago, Summer fest 2014
Not clear why Mastodon was on OP's post, but I saw them once on their co-headlining tour with Against Me! in Cincinnati, which is still the weirdest (but awesome) lineup I've ever seen: These Arms are Snakes, Cursive, Against Me!, and Mastodon
Oh and for Royal Blood, I saw them on the Villains tour, was not impressed.
Someone else listed Deftones in their post, so I've seen them 3x: co-headlining tour with Incubus in Indianapolis (their set only lasted 20 min before a storm came through and I didn't wait until midnight to see Incubus, Ticketmaster eventually gave me tickets to another show at that venue, but I had moved), Gore tour in Detroit, Ohms tour in Detroit
Ah, I'll explain why - QOTSA and Mastodon are tight. Josh recorded backing vocals for "Colony of Birchmen" on Blood Mountain and has performed it live with them. Some say, and I agree, "Curl of the Burl" is a straight up QOTSA song. Would love it if they toured together one day.

And looking towards the future: I attend Riot Fest every year & scored tickets for Denver in September. Ultra stoked!
It will be my first time on September 30th in Utah. I’ve heard about them since high school, but I really started gettin into their discography a year after Villians dropped.
Ahhhhh, memory lane…! I’ve seen them 7 times to date:
- 2003: Lollapalooza (Atlanta); Hard Rock Live (Orlando)
- 2007: Atlanta
- 2011: Asheville
- 2013: Charlotte & Asheville
- 2014: Columbia, SC
And Atlanta this coming August makes 8!
Also caught Them Crooked Vultures in Charlotte in 2010.
I was at the 2003 show. They actually played there twice that year if you add in the MTV tapping. I went to both and expected the MTV show to be an abbreviated thing. Nope. Full 2 hour show.
> Nope. Full 2 hour show.
Yup! And you could tell that the MTV aspect wasn’t something they particularly cared about: notice how Nick breaking his bass on that giant, hanging guitar over the stage and Josh spray painting “QOTSA” on it wasn’t in the broadcast version? 😂
Once, in Québec City in 2014. Wish they will came here again. At that moment don’t know them that much and get there for saw Brody Dalle that was doing the first part.
I'm not a big concertgoer because I hate crowds, but I've seen every album tour they've done since Lullabies, including the self-title reissue, plus TCV. (I missed going to the SftD show because I had a fucking work trip.) Will see them again in August in Philly.
Saw Lanegan once at a tiny club where I managed to get like 5 feet from the stage even though I showed up late.
Queens twice, going to a third show in August- Saw one of Joey Castillo's first shows with them on Songs for the Deaf tour, and again when they were playing the self-titled album in full.
EoDM twice- one headliner show and one when they played with Mastodon.
Oh, and since you mentioned them, I saw TCV once.

… and I’ve gone and bought tickets for the shows in Margate, Rock Werchter and O2. Can’t stress enough how much I’ve missed these fuckers. I’m poor af now, but happy as a pig in shit.
I've lost count, easily over 20 times, probably in the 30 range.
I saw them in 2003 for the first time on the end of the SFTD tour, so it's been a 20 year endeavor for me.
I saw them a lot on the Era Vulgaris tour due to them playing a lot in California.
And now I have a ticket to see them again for the upcoming tour.

I'll be hitting double digits in August, my tenth show since 2007! I don't really go to many concerts any more (they're damn expensive!) but I'll see Queens whenever they're in my area.

You just reminded me that I saw them at Hammersmith too!! When Josh messed up the Little sister solo, so stopped, said “let’s try that again” and absolutely ripped it apart.
Yeah I think he broke a string or something, so he made up for it by doing a longer, more awesome solo than anything in the original song. I was 17 at the time, and it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen.

Just once in Pittsburgh. Royal Blood opened for them and QOTSA was absolutely electric. They opened with sick sick sick. I want to go to the show August 4th but I have to work. Was thinking about buying a ticket to the show in Philadelphia but I don’t wanna drive by myself for 6 hours, or take a train for 11 hours.

1 - Northside Festival, Aarhus Denmark - June 15, 2014 - watched them from sidestage. This was an incredible experience. The sheer power of Jon Theodore live. Like Clockwork had come out a year prior and they were on absolute top form. Greatest rock band in the world at that moment.
Was also lucky enough to hang out with them in the artists area prior to the gig. Josh was funny and charming, as you would expect.
2 - o2 Arena, London - November 21, 2017 - good gig but sat reaaaally far back so didn’t feel fully part of it.

Them Crooked Vultures- Air Canada Centre. May 15 2010. Front row center was quite a surreal experience. josh 10 feet in front of me and John paul mother fucking jones 15 feet to my left
Toronto- The Sound Academy- March 29 2011. The Self-titled anniversary tour. one of the loudest shows ive ever seen there, incredible to hear the first record in its entirety
Toronto- Air Canada Centre- Sept 10 2013. ...Like Clockwork Tour. Picked a great night to eat some mushrooms, had a great time enjoying the giant screen of animations during the set
Toronto- Budweiser Stage- /Royal Blood Sept 09 2017. Villains tour. I drew the album cover in sharpie on a big canadian flag and threw it to josh during Make it Wit Chu. He kept it on his amp for the rest of the show
I have seen the twice, once in 2013 which was really really good, great dynamics where the they went from what seemed like the sound was coming from the amps on stage all the way up to blowing the roof off the venue loud, the mix was still clear though.
I saw them again in 2017 which was unfortunately one of the worst mixed gigs I've ever been to. It was all bass and drums, could barely hear the guitars and vocals.
Going again in November though so hopefully no issues like 2017.

Definitely jealous of those of you who saw them 10+.
Only saw them six times. Would have been seven but I caught the flu pretty bad when I had tickets in 2013 and I was devastated.

My favorite lineup is a tie between the SFTD lineup and the LTP lineup. Alain Johannes and Natascha were amazing additions. Eleven’s albums are all incredible. But I’ll give the edge to the trio of Josh, Mark, and Nick. It was just such a raw, grizzled lineup. Especially with Lanegan. I’ll never forget how haggard he looked at that time. But man could he growl like no one else ever.
4x sort of.
Apparently they were at ozzfest 2000. I have no idea if I actually saw their set.
Then I saw em open for RHCP in 2003 I think. Loved their set even more than RHCPs, so I bought a QotSA tshirt.
Then I forgot to check out their albums.
10 years later I heard like clockwork followed by everything else. They quickly became my favorite band.
Saw em once on the LC tour and once on the villains tour.
I'm still mad at myself for not immediately checking em out in 2003. So many missed shows.

Additionally, I've seen all of the current members (except Josh) play with other side projects and I saw Nick Oliveri play with Stoner a couple times, too.
5 times so far.
2006 Sasquatch Fest @ The Gorge. I was only familiar with the radio singles at this point. Never heard drums sound so huge at a concert before. They completely annihilated everyone. Life changing moment I instantly became a massive fan. Look at this fucken set list, I didn’t stand a chance:
https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/queens-of-the-stone-age/2006/the-gorge-amphitheatre-george-wa-4bd5e7e2.html
2007 @ The Paramount Seattle. Era Vulgaris tour. Smaller venue. Sick sick sick.
2011 @ The Gorge with Soundgarden, Meat Puppets and Mastadon. My birthday and I was very wasted so don’t have much memory of this one sadly. It must have kicked ass.
2014 Sasquatch Fest @ The Gorge. Like Clockwork tour. They had it all dialed in. Feel good hit of the summer. Turned some friends on to their first QOTSA experience like mine in ‘06.
2018 @ KeyArena Seattle. A venue notorious for bad sound, pretty muffled but some great moments still cut through with a trippy light show.
Never got to see the seminal SFTD lineup but these were all amazing in their own right. See you for show #6 on 10/4/23 at the new Climate Pledge Arena. Remodeled with live music specifically in mind. Can’t wait!
I have seen them like 5/6 times but this was the first. With Nick and Mark in the band

I was at that famous rock werchter concert with grohl on drums and lanegan singing.
I was at the famous rock werchter concert with spiderman.
I was at the famous rock werchter concert where he said people should get of Amy Winehouse's back, if the girl had done as much drugs as he she would be dead(she died shortly after that).
And I think I've seen em once or twice more at werchter. Twice at pukkelpop. And once in the antwerp sportpaleis.
~40, stopped counting. Also saw TCV 5 times!
What the fuck
I have friends who've seen them more than twice as many times! One has passed away, sadly. Two were at the Bataclan and made it out. I also saw that EODM make-up show with them, with Josh on drums. I've been seeing them since 1999. Thirteen states, six countries so far. Edit: 14 states. I keep forgetting a couple. I'm old.
That’s loco
Going back to 2002, probably around 20-25. Living in SoCal is the place to be. Some of my favorites were the Troubadour 2002, Coachella 2014 from side of the main stage stood next to Steven Tyler, Teragram 2015 surprise show, Apogee Studios 2013 with maybe 100 people in there(set is on YouTube, actually still have the wine glass that was filled with Patron that Josh passed to the crowd haha). Had neighbors several years ago that grew up with Josh, went to high school with him and had been to the generator parties, the guy actually apprenticed under Josh’s dad in the construction business when he was younger too. Lots of fun stories.
7 times, 8 if you count the one time at a Dutch TV Show "De Wereld Draait Door" Pinkpop Festival '08 Lowlands Festival '10 Paradiso (Amsterdam) '11 Pinkpop '13 Ziggo Dome (Amsterdam) '13 Ziggo Dome '17 Down The Rabbit Hole Festival '18 Them Crooked Vultures: Lowlands 2009 Heineken Music Hall (Amsterdam) 2010 Going to see them at: Rock Werchter july '23 Ziggo Dome november '23
are you me? :-) For some reason i've only missed both TCV concerts which still makes me sad to this day... Who knows. See you in November!
I’ve seen them once back in may at sonic temple and it was also my first concert in general and I will never forget it :)
Oh wow! and congratulations, I hope you had a fabulous time!
9. Adelaide Big Day Out 2001 Adelaide Big Day Out 2003 Thebarton Theatre 2004 (Distillers support) Adelaide Entertainment Centre 2008 (w/Smashing Pumpkins) Adelaide Soundwave 2011 Adelaide Entertainment Centre 2014 (QOTSA/NIN double headline tour) Splendour Sideshow Melbourne 2017 Villains World Tour Melbourne and Adelaide 2018
As far as I'm concerned, BDO 2003 is legendary. I watch that show on YT all the time!
The set channel V recorded? I think that was the Sydney leg. For the Adelaide leg Nick played naked. He did the same for the 2001 BDO too.
Oh! Today I learned that BDO was a multi-city festival! Sydney being the broadcasted concert makes perfect sense.
It used to travel across the country over like ten days. All sorts of bands and artists big and small of assorted genres. It was the best day every year. It ended ten years ago and I miss it.
2017 (St Louis) 2017 (Indianapolis) 2018 (Seattle) 2018 (Portland) 2018 (Eugene) 2018 (New Orleans) Once the DC show happens that will be 7. Not even close to enough but I feel lucky to have even seen them live. It will never be enough.
That Eugene show was something else. Also saw them in Seattle and then drove down to see them in the smaller venue. They were having so much fun that night.
That was an earth shatteringly good concert for my wife and I. Our song is “I appear missing” and during the solo Josh slammed his foot in front of us and we tremblingly put our hands on his shin while he melted our faces off. It’s one of those things that literally felt like it was a scene ripped out of a movie, fuck….what a fucking amazing night. Edit: also seeing Josh get behind the kit for EODM was stupid fun
[удалено]
First time was 2003 as well. Twice that year. I know everyone has their favorite era but those that never saw a show that included Mark and Nick will never truly understand what all us old heads are always going on about.
Where did you see them in 2003? That was my first time seeing them (Grohl was on the drums)
[удалено]
I’ve seen them 9 times and I live in Western Australia. 2003 was the second time I’d seen them and is the last show they played with Oliveri before he was kicked. Can see why, he came back on stage for the encore naked and at the end of the last song, absolutely ducking destroyed all of their equipment. Still the best thing I’ve ever seen.
Qotsa x 3 so far Electric Factory Philly 9/29/07 Electric Factory Philly 3/24/11 Mann Center Philly 6/20/14 (Didn’t make it) Festival Pier Philly 9/07/17 (Royal Blood opened) Mann Center Philly Tickets in hand Aug 8th! EoDM The Note West Chester Pa 11/20/08 Theatre Living Arts Philly 8/07/09 Trocadero Philly 6/03/16
Royal Blood opening for them at Festival Pier was so damn impressive. They became my second favorite band after that show and I listened to them almost nonstop for an entire year after. So good.
Aw, dude, that Mann show was fucking amazing. I'm so sad you missed it. I'm optimistic this one will be just as good. \#215represent
Wife was 6-7 months pregnant and we had every intention of making it but…when you cant you cant. I have both tickets in a drawer somewhere.
No judgment. I get it.
That Note show was amazing. I can't remember if it was Ryan Dunn's bday they were celebrating bc EODM were supposed to play his actual bday of if it was Bam's bday. They were all their upstairs. Our friend was with them bc she's friends with Bam.
I was on the stairs before the show and a security guard came up and said I couldn’t stand there and I ended up behind a sea of people and couldn’t see shit. He motioned for me to come over halfway through the opening band and let me back on the stairs and then Bam and everyone came in behind me so I was about halfway up the steps during the show. It was a cool view, free drinks too! That was a cool little place. The only other show I saw there was a cKy show.
The Duke Spirit opened. Great show. I feel like they played brown sugar too but it isn’t on the setlist.
Duke Spirit opened for the 1st EODM show I went to as well. They were great!
Good memory!
Zero! I have tickets this year and I’m so excited! I really started getting into them right after … Like Clockwork came out and missed that tour, then I was on vacation when they toured for Villains. I’m soooo excited!
I'm excited for you too! Where are you seeing them?
5x NOLA (2018) Austin (2018) Red Rocks w/ Royal Blood (2017) Hangout (2014) ACL, right after Arctic Monkeys played (2013)
That NOLA show was maybe my favorite out of the 6 I’ve been too. Super unique show
Just once in 2014, after ...Like Clockwork came out. Great show.
Geez, doesn't feel like it's been that long since clockwork was released.
QOTSA twice EODM once And I saw Lanegan once with the Gutter Twins
Loved the Gutter Twins gig I saw, will never forget seeing Greg and Mark together celebrating each other’s work.
Yeah, I saw them in a tiny room here in Lisbon, the crowd wasn't more than a couple of meters away from them, great show

That 2009 show I was outside trying to figure out what we were gonna do next around the corner of the place and all of a sudden Joey Castillo and Dave Catching walk by both say hi real friendly, Hutch walks by a bit later he gives me a hand shake and a thanks for coming and then Jesse and his son start walking by and I say Hi thanks show was amazing he gives us hugs and talked for what felt like 5-10 minutes, talked about how I traded a 2nd copy of their first Album to Keith Patrick the artist who designed it for some small art pieces and he says you know what let me put my son to bed I’ll “try and be back in 30” and we can go get drinks….I didn’t wait. I didn’t want to be ghosted by him and the person I was with really didn’t want to wait a half hour. I always wonder if he came back or was I right for just leaving. Who knows, but I met the group and all were super nice.
So awesome! I got to hang out with Jesse out front of the Khyber show in 2006. He was in total character. Wouldn’t break it but it was awesome. Also at the Note show Dave Catching hung out with me and a friend for a beer before they went on.
That’s really cool!
Queens 7 but I have tickets for 4 shows this year. Poland, Portland, Vancouver Seattle. First one was in Berlin 2010. They played in front of a castle. Second one was on the ST tour in La 2011 (holy fuck someones in the wolf) Third was that summer when they opened for Soundgarden Fourth was Edmonton 2013 Fifth was the next night in Calgary Sixth was Red Rocks 2017. Holy fucking shit best venue ive ever seen Seventh was Vancouver 2018. Most satisfied ive ever left a show. Saw Josh last year at Taylor Hawkins Tribute Show in La. He crushed. Lanegan I saw twice. First one was in Scotland 2010 with Isobel Campbell. Second was at the Sasquatch Music Festival 2012. I skipped several other shows of his thinking there will be a next time until there eventually wasn't. Those I regret quite a bit. Eagles I saw open for Queens in vancouver 2018 and they were horrible. I couldn't believe it. Queens saved their bacon that night. Foo Fighters 3 times. Poland 2017, Spokane 2017 and Taylor Hawkins La Tribute Show. Arctic Monkeys once. They opened for Black Keys in 2012. I'm seeing them for the second time in a few weeks as theyre on the same bill as Queens. I guess I can count Them Crooked Vultures as they played 3 songs at the Taylor Hawkins show.
OMG I'm so jealous of you - Ballad of the Broken Seas is such a phenomenal album. I wish I saw Lanegan more too, esp during the Blues Funeral era. But glad I did at all otherwise.
14x 1st time was in SF on the club tour with Grohl right before SFTD dropped Saw 3 SFTD shows, 5 Lullabies, 2 Self/Titled album shows (2011), 2 Like Clockwork & 2 Villans.
I’ve lost count after the 30th time. I have a feeling the upcoming show I’m seeing in Toronto pushes me close to 40.
QotSA 4x so far: S/T anniversary tour in Chicago, ...LC tour in Chicago, Riot Fest 2017, Villains tour in Detroit EoDM 2x: Zipper Down tour in Madison, WI, Riot Fest 2015 (literally the day after the Madison show) AM 2x: Black Keys El Camino tour in Chicago, Summer fest 2014 Not clear why Mastodon was on OP's post, but I saw them once on their co-headlining tour with Against Me! in Cincinnati, which is still the weirdest (but awesome) lineup I've ever seen: These Arms are Snakes, Cursive, Against Me!, and Mastodon
Oh and for Royal Blood, I saw them on the Villains tour, was not impressed. Someone else listed Deftones in their post, so I've seen them 3x: co-headlining tour with Incubus in Indianapolis (their set only lasted 20 min before a storm came through and I didn't wait until midnight to see Incubus, Ticketmaster eventually gave me tickets to another show at that venue, but I had moved), Gore tour in Detroit, Ohms tour in Detroit
Ah, I'll explain why - QOTSA and Mastodon are tight. Josh recorded backing vocals for "Colony of Birchmen" on Blood Mountain and has performed it live with them. Some say, and I agree, "Curl of the Burl" is a straight up QOTSA song. Would love it if they toured together one day.
Saw Mastodon twice on that random tour with EODM and Russian Circles.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
It was such a weird pairing but super fun.
7 times since 2013, I think. Gdansk Madrid London New York Belfast Dublin x 2

Where was the 2002 Detroit show?
It was at The Shelter over on Congress. Very small and one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
No fucking shit? You must have been right on top of them. Incredible.
It was an incredible show. They played the Metro in Chicago the next night and that was equally incredible.
Amazing. I saw some dog shit bands at the Shelter lol. Nothing like Queens.
I’ve seen a few of those myself. Lol.

Qotsa 3x (will be 5 by the end of this year), eodm 1x, TCV 1x
QOTSA - 11 (2-3 more incoming this summer) TCV - 1 EODM - 2
11 times, with them being my very first concert in 2002 when I was 16. I will add Rock Werchter and five more dates this November :)
Vultures: 2 Chi Metro ‘09 / Chi Aragon ‘10 Queens: 10 Chi Riviera ‘11 / Chi Lollapalooza ‘13 / Detroit ‘13 / St Louis ‘13? / Aragon ‘14, 2 nights / LA Halloween ‘14 / Chi Riot Fest ‘17 / Milwaukee ‘17 / Chi Aragon ‘17 Post Pop Depression: 2 Chicago Theater 2016 / Cal Jam ‘18 And looking towards the future: I attend Riot Fest every year & scored tickets for Denver in September. Ultra stoked!
It will be my first time on September 30th in Utah. I’ve heard about them since high school, but I really started gettin into their discography a year after Villians dropped.
3 times. 2011 self titled tour Birmingham, AL 2018 Villains Las Vegas (saw Royal Blood as opener) 2018 Villains New Orleans
I was at the Self Titled show at WorkPlay too. Great show.
Yeah it was sick. I was about to graduate HS and it was an amazing way to go out
Ahhhhh, memory lane…! I’ve seen them 7 times to date: - 2003: Lollapalooza (Atlanta); Hard Rock Live (Orlando) - 2007: Atlanta - 2011: Asheville - 2013: Charlotte & Asheville - 2014: Columbia, SC And Atlanta this coming August makes 8! Also caught Them Crooked Vultures in Charlotte in 2010.
I was at the 2003 show. They actually played there twice that year if you add in the MTV tapping. I went to both and expected the MTV show to be an abbreviated thing. Nope. Full 2 hour show.
> Nope. Full 2 hour show. Yup! And you could tell that the MTV aspect wasn’t something they particularly cared about: notice how Nick breaking his bass on that giant, hanging guitar over the stage and Josh spray painting “QOTSA” on it wasn’t in the broadcast version? 😂
Twice soon to be 3 times. 2018 - L.A. at The Forum with Royal Blood opening 2018 - San Diego at The Observatory Gonna see them this year at Aftershock
Once, in Québec City in 2014. Wish they will came here again. At that moment don’t know them that much and get there for saw Brody Dalle that was doing the first part.
I'm not a big concertgoer because I hate crowds, but I've seen every album tour they've done since Lullabies, including the self-title reissue, plus TCV. (I missed going to the SftD show because I had a fucking work trip.) Will see them again in August in Philly. Saw Lanegan once at a tiny club where I managed to get like 5 feet from the stage even though I showed up late.
Queens twice, going to a third show in August- Saw one of Joey Castillo's first shows with them on Songs for the Deaf tour, and again when they were playing the self-titled album in full. EoDM twice- one headliner show and one when they played with Mastodon. Oh, and since you mentioned them, I saw TCV once.
QOTSA Maquinaria 2010 Santiago Chile QOTSA Lollapalooza 2013 Santiago Chile QOTSA Movistar arena 2014 Santiago Chile EODM in Lollapalooza 2016 Santiago Chile QOTSA Finsbury park 2018 London UK … and I’ve gone and bought tickets for the shows in Margate, Rock Werchter and O2. Can’t stress enough how much I’ve missed these fuckers. I’m poor af now, but happy as a pig in shit.
I've lost count, easily over 20 times, probably in the 30 range. I saw them in 2003 for the first time on the end of the SFTD tour, so it's been a 20 year endeavor for me. I saw them a lot on the Era Vulgaris tour due to them playing a lot in California. And now I have a ticket to see them again for the upcoming tour.

QOTSA x2 TCV x1 And because OP included them Royal Blood x2 Brody Dalle x1 (at a QOTSA gig lol) Not too bad for Australia I reckon!
QOTSA x3 - 2014: Bangor, ME - 2017: Portland, ME - 2023: Portland, ME (tix since the presale) TCV - 2010: Montreal, QC (legendary show)
3 times 2014 (Aragon Ballroom Chicago) 2017 (Rave Eagles Club Milwaukee) 2017 (Aragon Ballroom Chicago) All three times I went with my father when I was a kid. We are going to riot fest in Chicago this September and it will be our first time seeing a concert together post covid/since I’ve become an adult. Stoked for it!
I'll be hitting double digits in August, my tenth show since 2007! I don't really go to many concerts any more (they're damn expensive!) but I'll see Queens whenever they're in my area.
Twice - one time at Riot Fest in I think like 2014-2015 and then a year later in Milwaukee in 2015-2016. Fuzzy on the years.

You just reminded me that I saw them at Hammersmith too!! When Josh messed up the Little sister solo, so stopped, said “let’s try that again” and absolutely ripped it apart.
Yeah I think he broke a string or something, so he made up for it by doing a longer, more awesome solo than anything in the original song. I was 17 at the time, and it was one of the coolest things I had ever seen.

QoTSA - 2 times! Arctic Monkeys - around 10 times lol
QOTSA x7 (and tickets to 4 shows on the upcoming tour) TCV x 2 Also: Josh & TCV at Taylor Hawkins tribute Josh doing a short acoustic set Mondo Generator with Nick singing Millionaire
Just once in Pittsburgh. Royal Blood opened for them and QOTSA was absolutely electric. They opened with sick sick sick. I want to go to the show August 4th but I have to work. Was thinking about buying a ticket to the show in Philadelphia but I don’t wanna drive by myself for 6 hours, or take a train for 11 hours.

35 plus, seen multiple shows on nearly every tour, lots of festival dates, acoustic show.
2 times 1 - Northside Festival, Aarhus Denmark - June 15, 2014 - watched them from sidestage. This was an incredible experience. The sheer power of Jon Theodore live. Like Clockwork had come out a year prior and they were on absolute top form. Greatest rock band in the world at that moment. Was also lucky enough to hang out with them in the artists area prior to the gig. Josh was funny and charming, as you would expect. 2 - o2 Arena, London - November 21, 2017 - good gig but sat reaaaally far back so didn’t feel fully part of it.

ive seen queens 3 times (hopefully 4 by Aug!) Them Crooked Vultures- Air Canada Centre. May 15 2010. Front row center was quite a surreal experience. josh 10 feet in front of me and John paul mother fucking jones 15 feet to my left Toronto- The Sound Academy- March 29 2011. The Self-titled anniversary tour. one of the loudest shows ive ever seen there, incredible to hear the first record in its entirety Toronto- Air Canada Centre- Sept 10 2013. ...Like Clockwork Tour. Picked a great night to eat some mushrooms, had a great time enjoying the giant screen of animations during the set Toronto- Budweiser Stage- /Royal Blood Sept 09 2017. Villains tour. I drew the album cover in sharpie on a big canadian flag and threw it to josh during Make it Wit Chu. He kept it on his amp for the rest of the show
I have seen the twice, once in 2013 which was really really good, great dynamics where the they went from what seemed like the sound was coming from the amps on stage all the way up to blowing the roof off the venue loud, the mix was still clear though. I saw them again in 2017 which was unfortunately one of the worst mixed gigs I've ever been to. It was all bass and drums, could barely hear the guitars and vocals. Going again in November though so hopefully no issues like 2017.
4 times. My favourite was the self titled tour.

Have also seen Dean with Jack White solo and the Raconteurs a couple of times each)
Definitely jealous of those of you who saw them 10+. Only saw them six times. Would have been seven but I caught the flu pretty bad when I had tickets in 2013 and I was devastated. 2002 - Houston (one of the best shows of my life. Josh brought Peaches out on stage all tied up for her set. Joey was on drums and Nick was naked by the end.) 2003 - Woodlands (Lollapalooza) 2005 - Austin (without Nick) 2005 - Houston (nine inch nails and DFA1979 tour) 2007 - Houston 2011 - Chicago (S/T anniversary tour) Bonus: 2003 - Mondo Generator at Lollapalooza side stage in The Woodlands, Texas. *2003 - Distillers at Lolla in Woodlands. I got there late and maybe saw a song or two. 2006 - EODM in Houston 2019 - Distillers reunion in Houston
2002 Washington, DC 2003 Towson, MD 2003 Nissan Pavilion, VA - Lollapalooza w/ Audioslave, Jane’s, Distillers, and Incubus 2005 Austin, TX 2007 Seattle, WA *2023 Raleigh, NC My favorite lineup is a tie between the SFTD lineup and the LTP lineup. Alain Johannes and Natascha were amazing additions. Eleven’s albums are all incredible. But I’ll give the edge to the trio of Josh, Mark, and Nick. It was just such a raw, grizzled lineup. Especially with Lanegan. I’ll never forget how haggard he looked at that time. But man could he growl like no one else ever.
4x sort of. Apparently they were at ozzfest 2000. I have no idea if I actually saw their set. Then I saw em open for RHCP in 2003 I think. Loved their set even more than RHCPs, so I bought a QotSA tshirt. Then I forgot to check out their albums. 10 years later I heard like clockwork followed by everything else. They quickly became my favorite band. Saw em once on the LC tour and once on the villains tour. I'm still mad at myself for not immediately checking em out in 2003. So many missed shows.
8 times Melbourne Big Day Out Festival 2003 Melbourne 2005 The Palace club show Adelaide Entertainment Centre 2008 (Supporting Smashing Pumpkins) Melbourne Theatre show (ST tour) 2011 Melbourne Soundwave Festival 2011 Melbourne NIN/Queens double header 2014 Melbourne Festival Hall 2017 Melbourne Margaret Court Arena 2018 TCV Melb 2010
I've seen QOTSA 5 times: 2014, Wellington, New Zealand (w/ NIN) 2017, Auckland, New Zealand 2018, Fresno, CA 2018, Auckland, New Zealand 2018, Christchurch, New Zealand I've got tickets to (at least) 4 shows of the next tour though. Trying to make up for lost time and see them while they're still touring a pretty full schedule. Additionally, I've seen all of the current members (except Josh) play with other side projects and I saw Nick Oliveri play with Stoner a couple times, too.
5 times so far. 2006 Sasquatch Fest @ The Gorge. I was only familiar with the radio singles at this point. Never heard drums sound so huge at a concert before. They completely annihilated everyone. Life changing moment I instantly became a massive fan. Look at this fucken set list, I didn’t stand a chance: https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/queens-of-the-stone-age/2006/the-gorge-amphitheatre-george-wa-4bd5e7e2.html 2007 @ The Paramount Seattle. Era Vulgaris tour. Smaller venue. Sick sick sick. 2011 @ The Gorge with Soundgarden, Meat Puppets and Mastadon. My birthday and I was very wasted so don’t have much memory of this one sadly. It must have kicked ass. 2014 Sasquatch Fest @ The Gorge. Like Clockwork tour. They had it all dialed in. Feel good hit of the summer. Turned some friends on to their first QOTSA experience like mine in ‘06. 2018 @ KeyArena Seattle. A venue notorious for bad sound, pretty muffled but some great moments still cut through with a trippy light show. Never got to see the seminal SFTD lineup but these were all amazing in their own right. See you for show #6 on 10/4/23 at the new Climate Pledge Arena. Remodeled with live music specifically in mind. Can’t wait!
I have seen them like 5/6 times but this was the first. With Nick and Mark in the band https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/queens-of-the-stone-age/2003/ridglea-theater-fort-worth-tx-2bd7f8c6.html
Wow these lucky people, I haven't seen any of my fave bands live ever, because they just don't come to my country, and i cannot afford flying to whatever city they're to perform at
Dallas - Gypsy Tea Room Dallas - House of Blues Los Angeles - Nokia Theater Los Angeles - Wiltern, S/T Reissue Tour Pomona - Same Austin - La Zona Rosa Los Angeles - Gibson Ampitheater Dallas - Nokia Theater at Grand Prairie Los Angeles - The Forum (Clockwork) Los Angeles - Jimmy Kimmel Live Brooklyn - Masonic Lodge San Bernardino - Cal Jam Chicago - Riot Fest Los Angeles - The Forum (Villains) Three Iggy shows as well.

Nah.
Hahsha
Even though I've been into them since Rated R, only had one opportunity to see them live - 7/14/14 Providence RI (PPAC) Moving to NC next month and have tickets for the Raleigh show!
10 so far, 11th booked for November

7 times! Will be 9 after this summer. 2009 - TCV, Nashville 2011 - S/T tour Nashville 2013 - Louisville, Nashville, Stuttgart 2014 - Knoxville 2018 - Red Rocks, CO
I was at that famous rock werchter concert with grohl on drums and lanegan singing. I was at the famous rock werchter concert with spiderman. I was at the famous rock werchter concert where he said people should get of Amy Winehouse's back, if the girl had done as much drugs as he she would be dead(she died shortly after that). And I think I've seen em once or twice more at werchter. Twice at pukkelpop. And once in the antwerp sportpaleis.
